A vision born in the Netherlands, rooted in Africa

Ajike Oyinbo John is a certified dairy consultant, experienced farm manager, author, scriptwriter, and film producer with a deep passion for transforming agriculture through knowledge and innovation.

She is the founder of Life Guide Dairy Consulting Firm LTD - a company born from a powerful vision to revolutionize dairy farming practices across Africa. After living in the Netherlands for over a decade, Ajike gained extensive, hands-on experience within one of the world's most advanced and efficient dairy industries. This exposure shaped her expertise in modern farm management, productivity optimization, and sustainable dairy systems.

Driven by a deep commitment to agricultural development, she made the bold decision to channel her knowledge, skills, and international experience into the growth of dairy farming in Nigeria. Her work is particularly focused on the southern and western regions, where she is actively promoting the adoption of modern, efficient, and profitable dairy practices.

Through her consulting firm, Ajike empowers farmers, agribusiness investors, and stakeholders with practical solutions that enhance productivity, eliminate inefficiencies, and unlock the full economic potential of dairy farming.
